Dear Ex-Lover

Dear Ex-Lover

There were many things I never understood 

And there are many things I never will

And my heart will forever struggle with this

And I cannot wait until

You leave

Why did you hurt me so much and so often

And expect me to act like nothing had happened

You treated me like I was some kind of rag doll

And threw me around until my spirit dampened

Ever since we met

But why does my heart cling to you after this

What good will it ever do for me

I see your smile in the hallways

And I have to pretend that I didn't see

The spark in your eyes

A part of me will always love you

That I don't think will ever change

But another part of me will always hate you

For you caused my soul so much pain

It lingers there yet

So for now I will continue to smile

And pretend that everything is alright

But as for the spirit you damaged

I will finally let it see the light

Finally, I rise
